@Ogreman after the first World Qualifier Barriere decided to focus on pro boxing again.

Not yet… There’s still a couple of “smaller” events left in the qualification period called Opens, Krieber Gagnon and (Kelly) Deguchi are entered in them. Each tournament offers 100 points to the winner, so still a lot to be decided. Surprisingly though, Frascadore isn’t entered in any of them. Not sure why, he’s not that far behind in the race for the continental quota…

79.66m for Ethan Katzberg in men’s hammer throw at the P-T-S Meeting! 4 competitions so far in 2024, and he’s currently undefeated.

Aaron Kemei might be one to watch for leading up to Paris, today he clocked a new WL of 1:43.55 in the men’s 800m at the Meeting Citta Di Asti! Coming into 2024, his PB was 1:46.20.

It was bad the day before too.

Men’s team just won bronze at the Yecheon World Cup, beating India, Netherlands, and Italy in the process!

Much better from Ethan Katzberg this week at the Trond Mohn Games, recording a best mark of 81.98m, 6m ahead of another 80m+ competitor in Halasz! His series: 80.47m R1, 80.47m R2, 81.98m R3, 81.26m R4, 78.94 R5, 78.50m R6.

Kaila Butler with a 68.88m in women’s hammer throw at the Trond Mohn Games! Not too far away from her PB.

Frascadore isn’t entered in any events right? So by my reckoning, for Canada it’ll be between Kelly Deguchi (women’s 52kg) and Louis Krieber Gagnon (men’s 90kg) for one of the continental quotas?
